That Special Someone

Does anyone else have a person, or people, in their lives that make them feel like this?

Well I sure do... and they're driving me crazy lately!

“Only you know your circumstances, your energy level, the needs or your children, and the emotional demands of your other obligations. Be wise during intensive seasons of your life. Cherish your agency, and don’t give it away casually. Don’t compare yourself to others—nearly always this will make you despondent. Don’t accept somebody else’s interpretation of how you should be spending your time. Practice saying, ‘I feel good about my decision to . . .’ and then fill in the blank with whatever you’ve decided.”

One of those days

I am having one of those days. Not one of those days where the kids are driving me crazy and the house is a mess. One of those days where I just feel lonely and wish I had a good friend close by, and I ate a brownie for lunch, and now I have a headache from it, so I am force-napping my kids.

It seems all my "close" friends down here moved away. It's all superficial now! It's time to start over, but I am a little slow and complicated when it comes to making "real" friends.

Kyla, if you read this I wish you were still here and I could come over and eat a hundred "healthy" chocolate chip cookies while my kids trash your house:) I'll even let the baby crawl in the dirt.

I guess that's why I blog. In a way it's like having a friend I can talk to about anything. It's very said that my blog is my friend, but there it is.

I think I will go and clean now. Like I always say... If you don't have friends, at least have a clean house in case you meet some!
